Ms. Lillie provided project details on Kitsap Transit’s federally funded passenger-only ferry dock expansion adjacent to Bremerton Marina. She described the A‑float/ B‑Pontoon improvements and discussed the addition of an onsite 5200 gallon fuel tank to be used for vessel fueling. Ms. Lillie confirmed the fuel is strictly for use by Kitsap Transit vessels but will have to verify with Kitsap Transit Executive Director as to whether they would be willing to sign an agreement stating there will be no outside fuel sales in the future. There was further discussion with the Board on the fuel tank related to risk management; long range transportation plan for providing cross-Sound passenger-only fast ferry service; and evaluation of ferry wake impact to Bremerton Marina.

Work Study Session

Annapolis Pier Improvements – Joe Callaghan, GeoEngineers

Mr. Callaghan explained that GeoEngineers has been retained by Kitsap Transit (KT) to provide the preliminary and environmental feasibility study for their Annapolis Dock Upgrade Project. He provided background on the pier explaining that KT owns the uplands and tidelands to about 0; there is a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) lease for what extends beyond that to include the pier area; and the Port owns the pier, gangway, and float maintaining the aquatic land lease with DNR. There is an expired ILA (currently month-to-month) in place between the Port and Kitsap Transit for KT’s occasional use for passenger-only ferry service. Mr. Callaghan provided an overview of the upgrade project and three conceptual design options highlighting the need for ADA accessibility and addressing stability issues with the float.
In order for KT to meet Federal Transit Administration grant requirements, KT is required to hold a long-term lease on the pier or purchase the pier from the Port. There was detailed discussion with the Board on these two options. The Board tasked staff to continue discussions with KT and to have an appraisal done on the pier.

Commission Reports

Commissioner Strakeljahn

Reported on recently attended KRCC TransPol/TransTac and Executive Board meetings. He stated he was fortunate to meet with all the local legislators at the Executive Board meeting.

Commissioner Stokes

Will be appointed to the USS Turner Joy Board of Directors next Monday evening. He feels it important for a commissioner to be on that board because of the Port’s vested interest in the ship because it serves as a breakwater for the Bremerton Marina.
